So you would care to speculate to their faces too?

I'd have no problem saying whatver I wanted to Axl, as I'm sure he'd do the same for me. I don't see what the big deal is, he'd just call me a cunt and tell me to fuck off...no mystery there. He did it in his Dexter interview..

DCK,
remember that Izzy article where he talked  about Axl being so locked down that it gets almost impossible to move....how did he get there?
I never claimed to know anybody, I'm just speculating.
This ain't court guys, just  place to throw random thoughts...

His world is down to Beta and Del. Two loosers who have never had a career worth mentioning without planet Axl to revolve around and drain with abandon.

They both know that if Axl is ever to work with Slash & Duff again that the 'yes men' will have to go. They have cocooned the guy and gotten him so fraught about Slash, the media etc that he cannot move forward. They have ruthlessley played on his insecurities to bind him to where he is.

There is no 'persona' here, nothing being developed or planned; just a scared, aging man who left planet Earth in the nineties for Planet Legend and chooses not to return.

Who the fuck ever heard of a house keeper becoming a spokesperson for one of the world's most celebrated rock stars? With a son that talks down about legends like Tom Zutaut with such disrespect that you'd think he's some svengalli figure in GNR or the music business? It's a fucking sad, sad joke.

Slash's calm, jovial and simple approach to his dream of playing guitar has made him a legend and a hugely bankable star. Axl's super complicated, tortured, expensive, fraught approach to his career and art has left his reputation in the shitter.

He has blamed everybody for that, Slash, the record company, the alumni, the press, the managers, the photographers... Nobody is left except the ones who truely deserve the blame....

Our band died THREE times on us; 1993, 2002 and 2008.

That is a record of some type!!
